Anti-HST petition leader expands his political horizons Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The man who guided the successful collection of more than 23,000 signatures from Central Okanagan residents opposed to the HST has now launched a website he hopes will become the one-stop shop for anyone interested in starting an MLA recall campaign. Dan Thorburn, who oversaw the Fight HST petition drives in the Kelowna-Mission, KelownaLake Country, WestsideKelowna and Vernon-Monashee ridings, has started up BCRecalls, a not-forprofit initiative. “Recall is a bigger issue than just the HST,” said Thorburn, who ran unsuccessfully for the B.C. Refederation Party in Kelowna-Mission in last year’s provincial election. Thorburn has said he will run again if a byelection is forced in any of the three Central Okanagan ridings. In Kelowna-Mission, Thorburn finished last with just 51 votes to Liberal winner Steve Thomson. Thomson, who was named B.C. Agriculture Minister, along with back-
bencher Norm Letnick in Kelowna-Lake Country and Community and Rural Development Minister Ben Stewart in WestsideKelowna, has been targeted on a “hit” list of 18 Liberal MLAs that Fight HST want to see recalled. Thorburn, 31, said BCRecalls is open to anyone interested in recall and is non-partisan. “It’s even open to Liberals who want to write why recall is a bad idea,” said the local web developer and part-time political science student at Okanagan College. While the organization’s website BCRecalls. org is currently dominated by the recall efforts surrounding the HST, Thorburn said he wants to see it continue after the HST issue is dealt with. A vote that Premier Gordon Campbell has vowed will be binding, is scheduled on the HST for next September. But Thorburn questioned if the result will be accepted by the Liberal government despite Campbell’s vow to accept a simple majority outcome.

▼ COURT
Brawl has led to assault charges against two cops Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Two off-duty Mounties who became involved in a brawl with perceived gangsters outside a Kelowna strip club last year are now headed for court to face assault charges. Charges were initially laid last February but were briefly in the air, after a family tie between one of the
Mounties and the assistant deputy of the attorney general’s office came to light. But the criminal justice branch of the B.C. Ministry of Attorney General announced Thursday that Kamloops lawyer Robert Bruneau reviewed the report into the case and will prosecute RCMP officers, Kiel Samotej, 25, and David Christopher Macdonald, 40, in a trial scheduled to take place in Kel-
owna next July. MacDonald hails from Prince Edward Island and Samotej is from Alberta. They were visiting Kelowna Aug. 7, 2009, when a fight broke out between them and a group decked out in Hells Angels and Throttle Lockers colours. While the details are scant, it was reported at the time that the conflict began when one of the officers
“shoulder bumped” the victim inside Cheetah’s and ensuing events led to a larger conflict outside the club. That melee involved the officers’ group of seven friends and 15 to 20 bikers wearing gang colours. While the Hells Angles have a chapter in Kelowna, it’s unclear where the Throttle Rockers are based. MacDonald 40 was taken to Kelowna General Hospital for treatment
of numerous injuries. He was released the next day after being held overnight for observation. Police said other members of MacDonald’s group sustained minor injuries, but none that required treatment in hospital. Conversely, a Kelowna man, Errol Milson-Gardener, 25, has been charged with assault causing bodily harm for his alleged attack on MacDonald.
Francophone students given lesson on fitness Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Encouraging kids to exercise via video game. It’s a little unconventional but l’école L’Anseau-sable vice-principal Chantale Desmarais says it definitely works. The concept is part of a massive project from a French-Canadian athlete who has won his category in the Hawaii Ironman three times and is now pushing students on opposite ends of the country to get healthy and active through a challenge he created to mimic his own cycling fundraiser. “It’s just a great project,” said Desmarais “They are receiving funding from the federal government, so my hope is that they will be in every province soon.” Pierre Lavoie invented this travelling healthy
lifestyles fair dubbed Le Grand Défi in 2008, challenging students in Quebec to get active for 15 minutes, three times a day after noticing his students really liked the concept of his own 650-kilometre cycling challenge to raise funds and awareness of lactic acidosis. The project was an instant success and by May 2009 some 934 schools participated with students logging 4.2 million hours of physical activity. This year, he brought the concept to B.C. with the Vehicube, a carnival tent of games currently touring the French school district to teach kids to exercise and eat a more balanced diet. Lavoie has lost two children to lactic acidosis. There are a number of ways for the condition to occur, including genetic factors, but a lack of exer-

VIDEO GAMES are one format used by Vehicube, a carnival tent of games, set up on Thursday at the l’ecole L’Anse-au-Sable School in Kelowna to raise awareness among students about the importance of leading healthy, active lives. cise can also be a contributing factor. Basically, the condition amounts to oxygen muscle starvation due to lactic acid buildup, which is what causes muscle soreness after strenuous
exercise. The students participating in the games Thursday, however, seemed unconcerned as to why they were playing in the tent. With students from Grade 1 through 12 all
trying to evaluate what belongs in a healthy meal on touch-screen tables and then cycling on stationary bikes behind an avatar racing to push them faster, the focus was largely on having fun with the funky
equipment. Lavoie’s Grand Défi includes a cycling marathon 1,000 kilometres long in Quebec. Information can be found on his websites— www.legdpl.com and

Mother Nature needs more champions like Bill Otway I t was the plight of spawning salmon that led to the past-president of the Port Coquitlam Hunting and Fishing Club picking up the phone to call a newspaper reporter one fall day in 1971. Pollution of his favourite fishing river had to be stopped, he said bluntly. He was very persistent
TRAIL MIX
Judie Steeves about his concerns, very passionate about his love of the outdoors and he
pulled no punches in describing what had caused the deterioration in the condition of the Coquitlam River. Gravel operators were destroying it, he told me. It was just one of Bill Otway’s great causes during his lifetime; crusades against the wrongs he saw being perpetuated against B.C.’s natural resources,
whether by corporations or governments. Come to think of it, I seldom remember him raging against anything his own size. He was feisty and he was always facing down a giant—most recently the federal government for its mismanagement of salmon stocks on the West Coast. He died fighting. Sunday, he lost his battle with cancer and died in his recently-adopted hometown of Merritt. Bill Otway was a fighter, and it seemed we always met when he had the gloved hands raised, beginning in the early 1970s when he took on the big companies that mined gravel from the Coquitlam River. They would wash their gravel in the river’s clear flows, then release tonnes of silt downstream to clog the spawning gravel and smother the eggs of the salmon who had fought their way back upstream to lay their eggs before completing their
Bill Otway cycle of life, and dying. At the time, I was a young reporter at the daily Columbian Newspaper, and I was more than willing to listen and ask questions, to investigate and insist on answers. What I learned, and then saw for myself, convinced me to write repeatedly about the travesty that had turned the clear and productive waters of that now-urban river into a silt-choked lethal remnant of its former self. For years, we rattled cages and howled at the authorities, each in our own way, until the federal environment ministry got involved and the compa-
nies were finally charged. Unfortunately, a guilty verdict resulted in a simple slap on the wrist and I don’t know if the situation has changed much today, more than 35 years later. That didn’t stop Bill, though as he carried on his battle against that and many other wrongs against this province’s beautiful but vulnerable wild natural resources, aided for 50 years by fellow members of the B.C. Wildlife Federation. He served as executive-director of the BCWF through the terms of four presidents and in 1980 was presented with the Canadian Wildlife Federation’s Sportsman of the Year Award for his dedication. In the years since he has been deeply involved in the BCWF Saltwater Fisheries and Native Affairs committees and was also involved in fighting the federal government’s gun control legislation. He even worked for the federal government as Western Sport Fishing
Ombudsman. Despite his battle with cancer, Bill persevered in a pet project, publication in 2008 of his book of tales, called Fish Cops and Game Wardens, chronicling the evolution of what are now called conservation officers in B.C. I’ll miss Bill, with his tall tales and his wellhoned sense of humour, but even more important, B.C.’s fish and wildlife and their habitat will miss him. More of us will be needed to step in and try to fill the shoes he’s left vacant. He didn’t want a funeral, but a gathering to celebrate his life will be held back in Coquitlam Nov. 14, 1 to 4 p.m., at the Executive Plaza Hotel on North Road. No flowers, but donations to the BCWF in his name would be appreciated. Judie Steeves writes about outdoors issues for the Capital News. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

▼ BREAKOUT WEST FESTIVAL
Music awards northbound next year Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
After naming Kelowna its 2010 hotspot, BreakOut West and the Western Canadian Music Awards will test their cool in a northern climate next year. The organizers behind the event announced this week the next BreakOut West festival and the award show itself will be held during this same week of October in the
Yukon next year, and with a huge funding boost. “Our government is proud to invest in this event, which will increase tourism and economic opportunities for the North,” John Duncan, Minister of the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency said in the
release. The Yukon bid appears to offer a huge boost to the show’s budget. Whereas the City of Kelowna invested $40,000 to secure the festival and an additional $80,000 had to be gathered from industry and other levels of government, the WCMA announcement released Thursday notes a combined federal/provincial investment of $390,000 will be made in the next event.
Organizer Rick Fenton said the extra funds are not to grow the event, so much as to help offset the transportation costs needed to make it happen. “It’s not just the artists, but you need to get equipment up there,” said Fenton. BreakOut West in Kelowna, meanwhile, is on its second day with the Peak Performance Project finalists having performed for audiences at six venues in the downtown core
Thursday evening. On Wednesday, CBC hosted a special floating broadcast from Okanagan Lake to get things started with The Zolas performing live during the broadcast. Kelowna’s event marks the first time CBC has been involved to a significant extent. The awards banquet will be recorded for broadcast at a later date. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Alleged drug smugglers seek bail Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Donning prison orange, the two local men accused of being part of a thwarted cocaine smuggling scheme appeared before a Kelowna judge Thursday afternoon to set a date for their bail hearings. Barry Michael Ready, 50 and Clifford Roger Montgomery, 33, are being held on two counts of conspiracy to import cocaine and one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking. They made the court appearance via video-link and were told that their bail hearing would likely be Nov. 8, although a firm date won’t be known until next Monday. While the two expressed a desire to stay together as their legal issues are worked out, they’ve retained separate counsel and that’s causing some issues when it comes
to plotting the course of this leg of their legal entanglements. Neil Cobb, who is Montgomery’s lawyer, said he can set some time aside Nov. 8 for the hearing, Ready’s lawyer Dan Gellar was aiming for Nov. 9, although he wasn’t present to assert his preference. In court, Cobb said that he’s learned that the other two men arrested in California for trafficking— Victor Perez Rodriguez, a 43-yearold Mexican, and Tariq Mohammed Aslam, a 32-year-old from Surrey—are also in the process of attaining Canadian counsel. All men are alleged to have participated in smuggling more than $4 million of cocaine to the Okanagan, from Argentina, in a fruit grinding machine. The investigation into all four men began Sept. 22, when inspectors at Vancouver Air Cargo Oper-
ations flagged the 2,300-kilo fruit grinding machine as suspicious for a myriad of reasons. Border officials used a fibrescope, which has a camera on the end, to look into the machine’s innards. It’s there they saw something “unusual” within the machine’s steel drums, later seizing the 97.5 kilograms of cocaine. In order to catch those associated with trafficking the extensive stash of drugs, the machine was sent on its way, with the Mounties and border officials watching its movements. When it landed in Kelowna, the drugs were brought to an outdoor storage facility, where police say there is evidence that the fruit grinding machine was breached. That led to the initial arrest of the two West Kelowna men. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Store robber gets conditional sentence A man who robbed a convenience store with a chain has been handed a nine month conditional sentence and a year of probation. Kristapher Allan Harris pleaded guilty to robbery in August in relation to a holdup a month earlier at the Petro Canada gas station on Lakeshore Road and was sentenced Tuesday afternoon.
Police say the robbery happened around dinner time on July 24 and involved the robber producing a large chain and swinging it down on the counter, smashing the glass lottery display case. The employee was showered in glass fragments and opened the till for the robber, who stole some cash. Harris was arrested 30 minutes
later, police said, and a search of him turned up a large chain, cash and glass fragments. In addition to the conditional sentence—which means Harris can serve it in the community as long as he follows conditions—and probation, Harris must submit a sample of his DNA and is barred from possessing firearms for three years.

MLA sees benefits for orchardists to expand into Asian markets richard rolke CONTRIBUTOR
Okanagan fruit grow-
ers could benefit from an expanded relationship with Asian markets. Steve Thomson, B.C.’s
agriculture minister, recently returned from an eight-day trade mission to China and Japan, where
exports were promoted. “With the rising middle class and disposable income in China, there
could be a rise in niche markets for cherries,” said Joe Sardinha, B.C. Fruit Growers Association pres-
ident. “With cherries, that means there is air freight over there, and while it’s expensive, our experi-

ence in Taiwan is there are good returns.” Chinese officials have indicated that technical work is being wrapped up to permit B.C. cherry exports next year. Thomson met with importers and investors in Beijing and Shanghai, as well as Tokyo. Most of the discussions revolved around food safety and quality. “Asian importers know B.C. offers some of the highest-quality food products in the world, while consumers have a positive impression of our food and the environmentally sustainable methods used by our farmers and ranchers,” said Thomson in a release. While he is optimistic about cherries, Sardinha isn’t sure if Okanagan apples will start flowing into China. “We’re fighting a currency that is at par now,” he said of the Canadian dollar’s strength compared to its U.S. counterpart. Sardinha also points out that the Okanagan is a small producer globally. “Our first focus should be getting British Columbian and Canadian consumers to purchase locally grown produce,” he said. Discussions in China also revolved around reopening the country to Canadian beef exports.

Cush owner feels penalty too harsh for reported liquor license violation Liquor from A1 shows apiece. And while Cush will have boozy beverages through the majority of the weekend Saturday, the taps will run dry when they begin to serve the Liquor Licensing and Control Branch’s penalty. Habitat, on the other hand, is without alcohol for the entire event. “I just hope that people who are coming out realize it’s more about the music and they still come out on the Saturday,” said Gay. Once the weekend’s festivities are over, Cush will close down for the remainder of its 13-day penalty doled out for contravening terms of a food primary liquor licence. Gay said it will have a serious impact on what’s already a struggling enterprise. “We accepted full responsibility in sending our chef home early,” said Gay, explaining that when their chef was ill, they should have shut down the restaurant and not continued to serve drinks. “But the penalty is too
Time for service?
harsh for the crime. If we were serving to minors, I could understand such a penalty, but for something as simple as closing your kitchen…” Cush was only two months into business when the contravention occurred, and wrote a letter to the liquor branch’s head office in Victoria asking that they scale back the penalty so their business wouldn’t be crushed, but their plea fell on deaf ears. “The thing that was most upsetting for us, is they said they were going to make an example of us,” she said. Over the past few months similar suspensions have been faced by Rose’s, the Grateful Fed, OK Coral, Creekside Pub and Habitat, leaving some to surmise that there’s a raid of sorts rolling out in this community. “Our local liquor inspector is nothing but good. He’s always been so helpful and he was doing his job by sending inspectors out, but Victoria decides the penalty and they have been unfair,”
said Gay. Earlier this month Quinn Best, owner of The Habitat, made a similar claim. But a representative from the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch says that’s far from the case. “The number of penalties levied against Kelowna establishments has increased this year, partly as a result of having a full complement of inspection staff and improved co-ordination between liquor inspectors and police,” said the representative. “In the case of Cush, branch staff had met with the licensee to review their responsibilities prior to the restaurant opening four months previous. “At the time the licensee was advised they must establish procedures to identify and deal with problems, and to ensure that these procedures are consistently acted upon and problems dealt with. “The hearing adjudicator found no evidence that this had taken place, and supported the branch’s recommended enforce-
ment action. The licensee also agreed the contraventions occurred.” That said, Gay still wonders why the liquor control board couldn’t have been more clear with their licence-granting process. “Originally when we thought of the concept of a supper club, we looked at liquor license and you can get an endorsement for offering dancing and entertainment, etc.,” she said. So in negotiation with their landlord, the family decided to get a restaurant license with endorsements that would allow for additional activities to coincide with the service of food. “Now we have approached the landlord to see if we can apply for a liquor licence instead,” she said, noting that they didn’t amount to much. “Those endorsements shouldn’t be made available if they don’t mean anything. It’s tough to run that concept and stay within rules of the liquor board.” kmichaels@kelownacapnews.

Website aimed at helping launch MLA recall campaigns Political from A1 that were exempt from the former seven per cent provincial sales tax, is a combination of the PST and the five per cent federal GST. To bring it in, the rfederal government gave tB.C. $1.6 billion in transition funding. “We are lucky (in B.C.), in that we are the only province that has frecall legislation,” said Thorburn. t
Fight HST officials here have said they feel they need about 300 canvassers in each of the
three riding to successfully gather the 40 per cent of eligible voters’ signatures required during the
60-day period mandated by the recall law. But Thor said it is unlikely that there would be
recall campaigns in all three ridings at one time, so canvassers could be used from the other local
ridings to help. Meanwhile, the local MLAs have publicly shrugged off the threats of
recall and say they are getting on with the jobs they were elected to do. awaters@kelownacapnews.com
‘‘
RECALL IS A BIGGER ISSUE THAN JUST THE HST. IT CAN BE USED AGAINST ANY MLA WHO WE FEEL DOES NOT DESERVE TO WORK FOR US.
“Recall is a bigger issue than just the HST. It can be used against any MLA who we feel does not deserve to work for us.” r Because he plans to run in any byelection forced here, Thorburn declined to be a proponent in any of the three local ridings for a recall campaign. But he said there appears to be a great deal of confusion about what’s happening with recall in B.C. now. “People have lots of questions, concerns, comments and then there are a lot of people who don’t even know what recall is or why we should be doing it.” Currently, Fight HST is hosting a competition among the 18 ridings on its MLA “hit” list to see which one can sign up the most recall petition canvassers by the middle of November. The top three will be the first to hold recall campaigns. But Thorburn said Fight HST has made it clear its recall plans are only about the HST. He wants his organization to go further. While it is starting as a Central Okanagan group, he wants to see it go provincial one day. Locally, the number of committed canvassers in the three Central Okanagan ridings has been small, with just 51 signed up in Kelowna-Mission, 36 in Westside-Kelowna and 31 in Kelowna-Lake Country.

Thanks to an additional $629,000 in patient-focused funding this year, the Kelowna General Hospital ER will be able to ease congestion and reduce patient wait times. “Total health spending in B.C. will be more than $16.5 billion in 201011 and, in order to manage these growing costs, we must innovate the way we allocate these dollars,” said Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick. “Patient-focused funding allows us to do that. The additional funding will be distributed among 15 B.C. emergency departments that account for almost half of the ER visits in the province, including hospitals in the Lower Mainland, on Vancouver Island, in the Interior and in the North. Patient-focused funding is a method of tying the money health authorities receive to the quantity and quality of health care services they provide. The emergency department funding will be invested in a variety of site-specific projects aimed at moving patients either into a hospital bed or back into the community within defined target Now you can use the Internet to add your own non-profit event to the Capital News Stuff to Do.

The fundraising cycling trip was the vision of Hurtubise, who had lived with diabetes for 35 years.

Rescue of miners in Chile restores faith in our world T he eyes of the world were riveted upon their slow emergence from the darkness. Thirty-three miners, trapped in the bowels of the earth for over two months, emerged in astoundingly good health and spirits. Many had experienced epiphanies about what mattered most in their lives. All were grateful to be alive—grateful to one another, and grateful to a world that offered its technology and prayers for their safe emergence. Coming as it did shortly after the anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy, this rescue moved many of us profoundly. Few events in our time have been watched so intently through the media. Why such an emotional celebration by huge numbers of people who had never met these men, and never would? In the Christian scriptures, Jesus of Nazareth speaks of being “cast into the outer darkness.” Some of the oldest myths of the human family speak of braving the dangers of such a journey in hopes of reaching a desired goal—be it insight or the rescue of a loved one. I think of the myth of Inanna, or that of Orpheus. In an aboriginal tale, humans are birthed out of the earth, climbing up through a hole to its surface. Navaho perform rituals in Kivas buried in the ground, with only a single hole far above. Sometimes the journey is not chosen. In psychological terms, we have all been through the darkness—loss of loved ones, loss of purpose, loss of faith. Usually, we emerge after a time, healed and hopeful once again. Sometimes we do not. Our sense of identification with these men during their ordeal came from our common humanity. We can imagine what it would be like to be trapped like that, because in a sense we have been

Linda Horton there. Their rescue gave us greater hope. In their trial by darkness, we feel echoes of our own stories. As a young adult, I had a profound experience of being “cast into the outer darkness.” I felt isolated from everyone and everything, even from myself. Out of that time came a decision to brave the journey into greater psychological and spiritual health. I rejoined my childhood religious community, and that community made the journey possible. The miners, in their claustrophobic, dark shelter beneath the earth, survived as well as they did because they had each other. Some also experienced a sense of being held by something greater than themselves. Their sense of connection with the creative Spirit that sustains all life deepened. However we understand it, the sense of being “held” by life is a part of our human experience that can become more vivid when the ground of our surface existence gives way beneath our feet. For many miners, deprived of the distractions of everyday life on the surface, awareness of their own deeper selves became clearer. They could not escape examining their lives in light of what really mattered. Loved ones became even more precious. Each of these men became precious to a waiting world. We heard about their unique lives, their families, their hopes and dreams. What a contrast to those tragic events that could only happen because those killed are faceless, or symbolic of a hated nationality or religion. At times like this, we sense that seeing one another as precious and

City in Action
Making wise schooling choices M
ost young adults that I know don’t even talk about investments, yet when they go to college or university and take out a student loan, they are in fact investing in themselves. They are borrowing funds today based on perceived higher earnings of tomorrow. The logic behind this is that investment in education and training increase the student’s knowledge, skills, abilities and productivity which in turn improves their position in the labour market and allows them to compete for higher wages. And if their chosen career is currently facing a labour market shortage they can demand a much higher wage than those where there is an oversupply of labour. So where is the risk?

COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS Smoking Ban in Parks
City Council approved amendments to the Parks & Public Spaces bylaw that prohibits smoking in all city parks effective February 1. The bylaw previously only applied to “natural areas” in Kelowna. Parks larger than 15 hectares that are not natural areas will be considered for designated smoking areas. The Feb. 1 start date is to allow time for public education, creating signs and acquiring cigarette butt receptacles.
Rutland Centre Initiative
A status report on plans for a transit centre and urban revitalization strategy was presented to Council. City staff are working with provincial transit staff to confirm the location of a transit centre consistent with the Rapid Bus strategy. Plans to extend Shepherd Road to accommodate the centre will now occur after 2011.
Recognition for Kawahara
A commemorative tree and plaque will be placed in Kasugai Garden in recognition of Katsuhiko Kawahara. For the past 12 years, Mr. Kawahara and his family have hosted an annual trip by Kelowna’s Lady of the Lake, her Princess and a chaperone to Kasugai, Japan. The cost of all travel expenses, air fares and other fees have been covered by Mr. Kawahara. kelowna.ca/council

Surprises are better when they’re not on your bill.
SCHOOL’S IN
Jane Muskens For students who have to finance their entire education with a student loan, they are risking debt for a perceived higher wage. Canada student loan debt for a bachelor’s degree completed within four years is approximately $42,000 yet this doesn’t take into account debt to parents and credit cards which would probably increase the debt to about $55,000. Based on data from the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation, over a 40-year span, a college graduate with a diploma can expect to make approximately $394,000 more than someone with just a high school diploma and an individual with a bachelor’s degree can earn $745,800. And new data coming out of a recent study from Trent University found
that the wage gap between high school grads and those with a post-secondary credential grew from 12 per cent to 25 in the last 20 years. This data alone tells us that for most people, the odds are good that you can make more money if you have more education. So how do you mitigate the risk of taking on debt? When deciding to take on student debt and assume this risk students need to have clearly focused educational and career goals. There is nothing more disheartening than meeting someone who accumulated two years of student loan debt but lost interest in their program and realized they should have studied something else. Or someone who got a student loan, passed only a few courses in their first term, failed some in their second term and then dropped out. This person may now be faced with minimum wage employment and having to pay off a student loan. Figuring out what your education and career goals are include re-
searching what opportunities are out there. First, students should actually look at what they like to do. There is no sense taking on a career if you won’t enjoy the work—you won’t do well in school studying something you are not interested in. Second, research the current labour market trends—what’s hot and what’s not—and, more importantly, look at projected labour market trends when you expect to graduate from college or university. And lastly, talk to people in the fields you are considering before you make your choice. Although this might sound like a lot of work, once you get going it’s not that hard. The Internet has a lot of information. If you want to talk to someone face-to-face, I suggest you attend Okanagan College’s annual Career Fair running from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 7, at the Kelowna campus on KLO Road.

Tools to deal with strata politics A nyone entering political service quickly comprehends that being elected to office is often the opposite of what was originally contemplated. Almost every decision will appease and appal in equal amounts. In other words, you can never please all the people all the time. Sometimes, it seems, you just can’t please anyone anytime. It is no different for individuals who volunteer to serve on strata councils. When decisions negatively affect friends and neighbours, there is bound to be resentment and broken relationships within the community. A thick skin and positive attitude go a long way to protect any person entering the arena of strata politics. While there is no Strata Survival Guide, here are a few tips to avoid unnecessary animosity between strata corporation directors and members. Three of the top tools to building a better community are: Communica-
STRATA SPHERE
Gunnar Forsstrom tion, Accountability and Fairness. Many of the complaints that I have received from individuals involve a lack of communication between council and members. Although the initial contact might have started on a neutral footing, it doesn’t take long for the process to get derailed due to poor communication skills. Silence is not always golden. No one likes to be ignored. Prompt replies, even if only to acknowledge receipt of a complaint, question, etc., make a big difference in setting the tone for long term, positive dialogue. Actively ‘listening’ to what the other side is actually saying is perhaps the most important, yet most difficult, key to suc-
cessful communications. Accountability not only means minding the money, but ensuring that governance adheres to the Strata Property Act. Decisions that are made in an open and transparent fashion reduce criticism and tend to gain the most support from strata members. Nothing to hide—nothing to fear. Since members are entitled to view almost every strata document, it would be advisable for councils to make certain every decision made is readily available for inspection upon request. Directors are also accountable to ensure the corporation’s finances are in order. All expenditures must be identified, overspending must be avoided, strata fees collected and investments must be allowable under the Strata Property Act. A major source of controversy in a condo community is unexplainable accounting practises and the resulting hike in strata fees. Fairness means not
playing favourites. As the enforcer of bylaws, directors need to be mindful to always be fair in applying them, as well as enforcing them. For example, if a strata has a no pet bylaw, it cannot be applied to one member and not another. Similarly, any fines should be consistent to other penalties levied. Furthermore, members requesting a hearing are entitled to rights under the SPA and to be treated in a fair manner. Serving on council can be a thankless task, but it shouldn’t become a source of stress and abuse. Hopefully, by following the AFCs of management, directors can avoid some of the pitfalls that can lead to a toxic environment.

Landlord/tenant privacy guidelines posted Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham says that a document entitled “Privacy Guidelines for Landlords and Tenants” has been posted on the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia’s website. The office has received numerous inquiries from both landlords and tenants asking about privacy related issues since the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) was proclaimed on Jan. 1, 2004. The office has also investigated a number of complaints by tenants or prospective tenants concerning their privacy rights under PIPA. Denham said, “We hope these guidelines will assist landlords and property managers in discharging their duties under the Residential Tenancy Act in a manner than respects the privacy of tenants and promotes transparency in landlord and tenant relationships.” The guidelines will inform tenants about their privacy rights pursuant to PIPA in relation to their dealings with landlords.

Separating sleep apnea and depression S ‘‘ leepiness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating and irritability…these symptoms really could be part of the description of many disorders. They are common in depression and also happen to be hallmarks in a sleep disorder called sleep apnea. Not only do they share some symptoms, but sleep apnea and depression also frequently coexist and doctors diagnosing and treating depression should screen for the common sleep disorder. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common form of this condition and occurs when soft tissue at the back of the throat relaxes during sleep and blocks the airway. Individuals with OSA repeatedly stop breathing
HEALING MINDS
Paul Latimer during sleep for between 10 and 30 seconds at a time. This can happen many times throughout the night and results in disrupted sleep patterns and many physical consequences as a result of the disturbed sleep. Most of the time, people experiencing sleep apnea are not aware of their condition unless it is observed by someone else. Although they may not realize it, the interrupted nights are resulting in daytime impairment of functioning and also in-
creasing the likelihood of heart disease, stroke and premature death. Between 30 and 50 per cent of individuals with OSA also experience depression. For this reason, it is likely that every psychiatrist already sees several patients with this potentially dangerous condition. Depression-related fatigue is difficult to distinguish from the excessive daytime sleepiness of OSA, but it can be done by asking the right questions or performing a sleep study to rule out sleep apnea. Aside from daytime sleepiness, a few other hallmark symptoms in OSA include chronic loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, frequent morning headaches, waking up with a dry mouth or throat, restless or fitful sleep or frequent night waking. Often, when proper sleep is restored, mood and cognition improve dramatically, which could make co-existing depres-

sion easier to treat. Although sleep apnea can occur in anyone at any age, it is associated with obesity and is also more common in men than women. It is estimated that roughly four per cent of men experience sleep apnea and two per cent of women. For individuals experiencing both depression and OSA, antidepressant use may aggravate OSA as some of these medications can cause sleepiness or prompt weight gain, which can worsen symptoms in OSA.
The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry published one study suggesting a non-amphetamine wakefulness-promoting medication called armodafinil could reduce sleepiness in patients experiencing OSA and depression. Treatment for sleep apnea often involves sleeping with a Continuous Positive Airflow Pressure (CPAP) machine. The CPAP machine is a mask-like machine providing a constant stream of air to keep your airways open while you sleep. In many cases, patients experience immediate symptom relief when using the CPAP. If you are receiving treatment for depression and feel you may also have sleep apnea, speak with your doctor. It is possible to restore good sleep and that will undoubtedly make a big difference in your life.

Heat women No. 3 in Canada Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
In 2008, the longstruggling UBC Okanagan women’s soccer team missed the BCCAA playoffs. A mere two years later, the Heat is the No. 3-ranked collegiate team in the nation. The UBCO women (8-0-2) will be looking to cap off an unprecedented and unbeaten regular season this weekend with two games on their home pitch. On Saturday at 1 p.m., the Heat will host the Kwantlen Eagles (7-2-1) in a game that will, in all likelihood, decide top spot in Group A of the BCCAA. “It’s a huge game for us and Kwantlen is a very good team,” said Heat coach Claire Paterson, whose team will host
Douglas Sunday. “If we tie or win, first place is ours. Mostly, we want to play well and put in a good performance. We still haven’t played our best 90 minutes yet, so we’re continuing to push and work hard. We’re striving to have our best performances at the end of the season.” When Paterson took over the Heat in 2008, the women’s team had never before experienced post season play. A year later, UBCO went 5-4-3 and made a trip to provincials for the first time. Now, in 2010, the Heat is a serious contender for the B.C. championship. Paterson said the team’s evolution can be credited, in large part, to the commitment of the players themselves. “Part of it is, we’re getting some more serious
soccer athletes into the program,” she said. “We had some success last year and people have started to take notice of us. “Also, the core group I’ve been working with has stuck with me,” she said, “they’ve led the way and helped pull the program up to new levels. They want to put their stamps on soccer at UBCO, make history here and start a soccer legacy for the school.” Paterson said as UBCO continues to grow and evolve as an institution it has become easier for her to recruit elite players, whether they’re from from Alberta, the Lower Mainland or the Okanagan itself. A pair of third-year players have been particularly key in guiding the Heat to new heights. Striker Alexa Kennedy (Immaculata) leads the
BCCAA with 10 goals this season, while keeper Sabrina Gasparic (Walnut Grove) has posted seven shutouts in 10 starts. “They’ve both been a big part of how much we’ve moved forward over the last couple of years,” Paterson said. Fruther proof that the Heat program has taken some serious steps ahead came in the pre-season when the local women posted a respectable 1-11 record against Canada West competition. And if Paterson and the UBCO athletics department have their way, perhaps a move to the CIS level won’t be that far away. “We feel like we’ve raised the bar to this point and I’m really hoping that’s where we’re headed,” she said. “We’ve seen See Heat A24

Vancouver’s Cain Franson in WHL action Wednesday.
Home ice is a domain the Kelowna Rockets have typically thrived in. Not so much in 201011. The Rockets have just one lonely win to show for their first six games at Prospera Place, as the Everett Silvertips come calling Friday night. “You have to find a way to win your games at home because it’s so
hard to play on the road in our league,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “Teams are coming in here and capitalizing on our mistakes. We’re giving goals away and giving games away.” The Rockets’ earlyseason woes at home continued Wednesday in a 7-5 loss to the Vancouver Giants. Kelowna erupted for a season-high five goals in a span of under five minutes in the second per-
iod to take a 5-2 lead, but couldn’t hang on. The Giants responded with five unanswered goals of their own to escape from Prospera with two valuable points in the tight B.C. Division. The Rockets (3-7-00) appeared to have taken a 6-3 lead in the second period on an apparent Tyson Barrie goal, but it was waved off on a controversial goaltender interference call against Evan Bloodoff.
The Giants capitalized on a 4-on-3 power play to make it a 5-4 game and the momentum had clearly shifted back in Vancouver’s favour. Still, Huska said a questionable penalty call can’t be blamed for his team’s fate. “It looked like it was the Giants’ player that caught his skate on their goalie,” said Huska. “But it doesn’t matter, we gave up a 5-2 lead. There were too many mistakes, too
many times we tried to make something out of nothing instead of making the simple play, getting it off the glass…we were over-handling the puck. “A lot of our game, I really did like,” he added, “but until we find a way to cut down on mistakes, we’re going to continue have trouble.” In the ‘Tips, the Rockets face one of the Western Conference’s toughSee Rockets A23

Chiefs want home & home sweep The Kelowna Chiefs look to complete a homeand-home sweep of the Penticton Lakers as the teams meet in KIJHL action Friday night at Rutland Arena. Face off is 7 p.m. The Chiefs returned from a week-long break to beat the Lakers 6-1 on Wednesday night in Penticton. Captain Dane Rupert scored a pair of first-period goals and added an as-
sist as Kelowna pushed its record past the .500 mark to 8-7-0. Luke Richardson, Marc Mackenzie, Tanner Clarkson and Sean Allridge also scored in the win, while Brett Naka and Colten DeFrias each added a pair of assists. Jordan Bytelaar stopped 20 shots in net for his fifth win of the season. The Golden Rockets will visit the Chiefs on Saturday night.
Owls best at Best of West for the third time A three-peat at Best of the West further confirmed the Kelowna Owls’ status as one of the premier girls AAAA volleyball teams in the province. The Owls—ranked No. 2 in B.C.—knocked off No. 5 Earl Marriot 2-1 in Saturday’s championship game of the annual tournament at KSS. After splitting the first two games (25-23, 1525) Marriot took the lead late in the third and deciding set, but the Owls battled back to win 15-13 the BoW title for the third straight year. “In the end, the hitting of Hillary Schell and Kaitlyn Given was too
much for Earl Marriot to overcome along with the great veteran leaders of KSS,” said Owls coach Tony Sodaro. “Setter Nikki Valgardson was once again very solid running the offense for the Owls along with Martina Mazzei’s passing and Amanda Hait’s tremendous net play.” KSS played a solid team game throughout the weekend, defeating North Peace, Marriot, McRoberts, Semiamhoo and Pacific Academy en route to the title.

Defending champion Malindi Elmore settled for second best at the 2010 edition of the Canadian 10 km road race. The Kelowna runner completed the Oasis Zoo Run national championship Saturday in Toronto in 34 minutes 12 seconds—49 seconds behind winner Carmen Douma-Hussar of Cambridge, Ont. Elmore won last year’s race in 33:41. “The race was tough but overall I was pleased as I know I ran as hard as I could despite being slower than last year,” said Elmore, who raced on the track until mid-September this season, much longer than usual.

“By the end of the track season I am usually pretty sharp and fast but my aerobic base starts to fade when I race and work on speed for two months so the 10 km was a bit of a stretch for me at this time of year,” she said. Elmore and DoumaHussa are longtime rivals both on the track and road and, in Elmore’s estimation, the two are pretty much even in head-tohead matchups. In Saturday’s race, Elmore wasn’t aware of Douma-Hussar’s presence until she saw her on the course. “I didn’t even know she was in the race until she passed me at 3 km into the race when she floated

by,” Elmore added. “At that point I knew trying to run with her was not going to be possible given how I felt, so I just focused on running relaxed and strong,” she said. Elmore finished the 2010 track season with a solid performance last month at the Continental Cup meet in Crotia. She was fourth in the 3,000 metres, just 2.4 seconds back of the winner and world record holder. Next up for Elmore is the Ekiden road race next month in Japan where she’ll compete as a member of the Canadian team. The race is a marathon divided amongst six runners on a coed team.

Good question – you should only take advice from people who are successful, and hopefully more so than you are. (In fact, after you ask them about their “net worth”, you might want to “fire” your financial planner and/or banker)
Why? Because the monthly Passive Income (i.e. money I don’t have to work for) from my many businesses, real estate holdings and investing ventures is more than what most Canadians work hard for all year long. I’ve made money during good economies and I’ve also made money during bad economies. (In fact, huge fortunes have been made during the worst of economic times). Now don’t get me wrong... I don’t say this to brag. I am telling you this because I want you to know that I don’t just talk a good talk – I actually do what I will teach you to do. But I Haven’t Always Been So Successful... I am the first to admit it – I was a very poor student in high school and University (in fact it took me an extra year just to get through). And when I finally did graduate, my first job right out of the door was with the Alberta Government! I putzed around at a dead-end $30K a year job for far too long before I couldn’t stand it any more and I quit to start my own company. During the 90’s I built up a considerable Real Estate portfolio, and I kept going with different businesses and investment opportunities as well. In fact, by the time I read Robert Kiyosaki’s all time best selling book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, I was already doing very well financially. I was so impressed with Kiyosaki’s message, in 2001 I became a “Rich Dad Facilitator” to help spread the Rich Dad message to Canadians. And now, after all of these years, I am very pleased to have been able to show hundreds of thousands of Canadians across the country how to take control of their own finances, and to live life on their own terms. I have spurred dozens and dozens of people to become multi-millionaires in 5 years or less. Now I do not take credit for their success – they took the action and actually did something – and I am just happy that I was able to inspire them in some way. “...(Darren’s) passion for helping others had ben a great inspiration to me and I now truly understand about giving first with no exception in return.

and your
How the CASHFLOW quadrants explain the conspiracy to keep Canadians poor. ...and so much more. In fact, many people come to my events time and time again because each one is always different, they want to have the messages re-inforced, and they like being around other positive, action-oriented people. The Government and the Big BANKS are Conspiring to Keep YOU Poor.
So How Long Will It Take You to Become Financially Free? I firmly believe that EVERYONE can become wealthy within 5 years or sooner of attending this life changing FREE event. This is very possible. Thousands of people who have attended this very same event are well on their way to financial freedom. They not only learned the secrets of the Rich, they realized that taking ACTION will ensure their personal financial freedom – just like it will for you. And Why is This Event FREE? By now you are probably a little skeptical. Perhaps you’ve been to other “free” events that promised you the world, gave you a little bit of information, and then did the old “bait-and –switch” on you. They probably tried to get you to buy some kind of super expensive Real Estate course (or other training). We do NOT do that at my events. We have some books and cashflow games available if you want them, and there is no pressure to purchase anything. Now putting on FREE events is very expensive, so to help defray the costs I have a very few, select sponsors. You get a fantastic education, I get to meet you and spread the Rich Dad message, and the sponsors get a few minutes to show you what they do. The best thing is... we all win! My goal with putting on these events is to start a relationship with you and get to know you a bit. Robert Kiyosaki taught me “Give first, and then you will get back.” It has worked very well for me. So leave your cheque book at home, bring a friend and just come out to the event with an open mind. Fair enough?
If I’m going to give away the farm, I might as well go even one step further...so, just for bringing a guest to this Free event, I want to give you another FREE gift... My “7 Keys to Creating Wealth in Canada” Audio CD (a $39.95 value).

Isley Owens, 11, also qualified for regional competition with a 200 I.M. time of 3:53.87. Owens took over nine seconds off her previous personal best and finished in first place
in the girls 11 and 12 division. Gavin Thompson, brother and sister Noah and Amira El-Hafi, Alexandra Strobel, Delaney Douglas, Georgia Pengilly and sisters DeeDee and Jenny Gustavsson were also first-time competitors for the Lightning. James Wiebe and Sara Roggeveen both swam to 100 per cent best times.
Wiebe won the boys 9 and 10 division of the 50 metre butterfly by taking over 18 seconds off his best time. Other swimmers who made significant improvements include Sarah Collier who chopped an amazing 35 seconds off her time in the 200 I.M. and went four for five in best times. Michaela Jacobsen took 12 seconds off her 200 I.M., Anika Connor took seven seconds off her 50 breast and Oliver Diaz took seven seconds off his 50 free.

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Pro-football player, Stampede wrestler, teacher, corporate chemical exec—and painter? If it sounds unlikely, you haven’t met Ron Finch. The Edmonton native got his start as a painter after injuring himself playing for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the early 1970s. Stuck spending a significant time in hospital he needed something to do. “What are you going to do all day in the hospital? Watch the soaps,” he said during an interview at his Upper Mission residence about how it all began. His early paintings were watercolours— largely scenery—but he’s kept trying new things. When he and his wife moved to Kelowna two years ago and bought a house with walls too big for watercolour paper to fill, she suggested it was time he tried acrylics. The move offered more versatility as the paint can be mixed with water, but gives texture and the deep colour of an oil painting. Listening to Finch tell his story one can see how versatility would appeal. As a pro-football player, the father of three was knocked out of a contention for a full career in his second year of playing, forcing him to reposition himself early—though it didn’t come easily. He fought to work his way back into the sport while teaching high school, building

his muscle mass up with hours of work in the gym. The gym is where Stampede Wrestling found him, offering him more money than he could have made in a season of football to simply wrestle on weekends. And while he never made it to the status of the infamous Harts, or other well-known wrestling characters, he did earn quite the nickname when a group of his students discovered their teacher was one of the weekend warriors and showed up ringside chanting “Mad Dog.” The thought of Mad Dog battling the likes of Abdullah the Butcher, then pulling out the paintbrush on his time off is perhaps even more incongruous than the football star pinned in the hospital with a first-timer watercolour set, but the way Finch tells it, it all seems quite natural. This think-outsidethe-box mentality shows up the second one flips through his canvasses and collection of framed watercolours. He’s only been doing abstracts in the last few months, for example, but between the watercolour training, his unique sense of colour
and attachment to nature the result is very striking with large swaths of black offsetting everything from punchy pink to deep emerald greens and blues. His first Kelowna exhibit is this weekend at the Minstrel Café, 4638 Lakeshore Dr., with 30 per cent of the sales being donated to The Alexandra Gardener Women & Children Safe Centre. Tickets are $25 from 250-826-8446; the show runs Sunday, Oct. 24 from 2-5 p.m. at the Minstrel.

Much to the dismay of his parents, Farley loves to play shinny with the local rink rats and is discovered and signed to a major hockey league. He achieves instant stardom which comes with a price, including the expectation to fight. Now, put that to the music of 20 original songs from the likes of the Barenaked Ladies, Rush and Newton-John, with a cameo by Nelly Furtado (amoung others), and you have what looks like a fun movie.

Volunteer right now for Christmas

id you know that December first is the deadline for volunteering for a Christmas day event? It is a big job to organize a public event open to the public. Victory Life Fellowship, The Salvation Army and the Capital News are partnering to do just that. The planning is fully underway and now people are needed to ensure that setup, take down and everything in between runs smoothly. Volunteers will be involved on Friday, Dec. 24 between noon and 4 p.m. Arranging tables, decorating, gift wrapping, stuffing gift bags and line preparation of food will be completed. If you have hosted a formal dinner, you know that preparing the day before can make all the difference to everyone’s enjoyment. The Christmas Day dinner will be served between 5 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 25 at Parkinson Recreation Centre, 1800 Parkinson Way in Kelowna. In addition to the complimentary turkey dinner, there will be food gift bags, gifts and prizes. That means volunteers will have been busy much of the day to cook the
food, welcome and direct people as they arrive, serve guests, assist with draws and then clean up afterwards. What interests you? How much time on either or both of these days do you want to dedicate? Can your family volunteer together to add sparkle to the day for other families? Perhaps your time is limited during the holiday season. A financial contribution would be gratefully accepted. You can mail a cheque directly to the charity of your choice. Another option is to check out their website. Many organizations have a secure and confidential donation option online. That is the quickest and least costly way to give.

My taste buds were dancing with glee after sipping on my first silky smooth Gio cappuccino. At Gio’s, you are sure to be welcomed by he and his wonderful staff like an old
friend. Passionate about what they do, the energy draws you in and makes you want to stay—just like the real Euro café’s do. The caffeine buzz you have heard around town about the hot new coffee joint is spot on—go see Gio and taste for yourself…and make sure to tell him Buon Giorno!! 1340 Water Street (beside DJ’s).

Collateral damage being felt
W
hile the implementation of the HST has been getting all the headlines in recent months, the adoption by the provincial government of stringent new impaired and excessive speed laws may be having a greater influence on our spending habits. B.C.’s Solicitor General Mike de Jong was trumpeting the impact of the tougher laws on drivers on Thursday, saying police issued more than 1,400 impaired driving penalties and 435 penal-
ties for excessive speeding since coming into effect on Sept. 20. The new rules mean motorists can lose their driver’s license for three days, have their vehicle impounded and pay costs that can range from $400 to $4,060 for blowing between .05 and .08. For drivers, the notable penalty for driving in excess of 40 km/h of the speed limit is having your vehicle impounded for 30 days. Of the two, the stiffer impaired driving penalties are hav-
MAIN SWITCHBOARD
ing the more widespread impact. Most of us are going to bars less and we are drinking less alcohol in restaurants. Those two businesses are suffering, and charitable groups holding events that rely on alcohol sales to raise money are losing out. The HST has created an impact on the food and beverage industry, but we would venture to say the new impaired driving rules are a significantly greater obstacle to overcome.
Providing free rides home for impaired patrons and serving drinks with less alcohol content are some ways restaurant and bar operators are looking to recoup their lost customer base. While it’s hard to argue with the motherhood stance of trying to reduce the number of people driving while drunk on our roads, there is some economic collateral damage being felt, leaving many to wonder whether the new laws are over-reaching their original intent.

Calgary’s decision manages to crush superiority complex
O
ne thing I’ve derived comfort from when I find Kelowna too pedestrian for my delusions of grandeur, is that it’s not an Albertan city. Sure, the local population is verging on ancient, wages are low and the cost of living is high. Traffic between strip-malls is mindboggling and culture is virtually nil, unless you consider the unsettling reality that trying to create one is a fulltime job for city-employed bureaucrats. It’s certainly not Paris, London or even Vancouver. But on the up-
side, when I indulge in
KATHARTIC a fruitless search for the
silver lining of staying on home-turf, I think, “well, Beautiful B.C. is more than just a pretty face. It’s not Alberta.” That’s where oil barKathy ons rape the land, and Michaels poor birdies fall prey to their capitalistic ambitions. Shotguns are strapped to the back of trucks and the music from Deliverance wafts through the air. That seemingly insane American politico Ann Coulter called them “good Canadians,” for crikey sake. Does anything more need to be said? The mythology around my ver-
sion of Alberta has made it a lot easier to live with some of B.C.’s harsh realities—especially when my friends make the exodus through the Rockies, to Calgary, for some alleged higher standard of living. So, it was with great shock that the city with an uncouth bovine nickname, had a radical switch. This week they bucked tradition by electing not only a sober mayor, but a young Muslim mayor who offers something that doesn’t allow me to swaddle myself in the smugness I believed to be part and parcel of being British Columbian. Now that my comfort blanket has been taken away, I’m not viewing this changing of the guard as a posi-
tive signal. Today, it doesn’t mean my generation is finally taking the reigns of power. No. Right now, I just feel angry. Perhaps, even robbed of my ideology and I think they should feel the same. After all, Calgary is the province known for being a bastion of right wing ideals. Dare I say, it’s even been a bit of a renegade? So, why elect someone who’d ruin that image instead of the Corky Sherwood-esque candidate or the longstanding city councillor? They could have preserved the status quo as far as your national reputation goes and they should have been your first choices, Calgarians. You fell down on the job. Now you’ve got Naheed Nenshi,
the man who offers the youth of an inexperienced outsider over the babyboomer laden political establishment. Now everyone’s talking about how young and dynamic Calgary has become. Is that what you want to be? Can you really say goodbye to the Ann Coulter’s of this world and stay in the global spotlight? I think not. Time to revolt. And while you’re at it, I’ll be lulling myself to sleep with tales of Super Natural B.C. That’s right. We don’t have a lot of money, and the status quo looks poised to stay quite awhile longer, but we’re supernatural. Now that’s something to feel smug about.

▼ OVERCROWDING
Many patients need long-term care, not much needed beds in the hospital Open letter to Interior Health regarding B.C. government’s health care policy: A few months ago my wife was taken to Kelowna General Hospital emergency by ambulance and she ended up being admitted. The problem was that she did not get admitted to a room on a ward. They kept her in the emergency ward for four days and moved her from one hallway spot to another, depending on the time of day and the need by the staff. At night they moved her and others to an area that was a waiting room during the day. This was very disturbing to my wife and I. What kind of treatment is this? I cannot blame
the staff as they were coping as best as they could under the circumstances. Last week my wife had a mild stroke and again ended up in KGH. This time she was admitted to 4B which is the Acute Stroke ward. Again—no room. Again she was in the hall for a total of four days and five nights. Also, the spot in the hall was right across from the room where they dump everything when a patient soils themselves and the smell was awful. The staff at least were kind enough to give her a bottle of peppermint drops to use to offset the odour. After having complained once, they want-
ed to move her to another part of the ward but still in the hall and that spot was in a corner and very dark. Many of the beds are taken up by people that should be in a care home and not in a hospital. We have to put pressure on the provincial government to build more long term care homes as the population is aging and it is only going to get worse. We in Canada have always prided ourselves in our health care system. However, I do believe that this has been a highly misguided belief as it might have been true at one time, but no more. Ozzie Ziesmann, Kelowna
▼ LAW AND ORDER
Canadian gun registry has definite benefits To the editor: I would argue the money spent on the gun registry is very well spent and benefits all Canadians. Your editorial Gun Registry Provides Expensive Stats, Oct. 15 Capital News, failed to present the “real stats” that address the social and economic benefits of the gun registry. You failed to mention the cost of the gun registry is estimated at $1 billion over 10 years. You also failed to mention that during the
past 10 years the registry has reduced the death rate from gunshots in Canada from 1,400 to 800 per year. The fact that the gun registry now saves 600 Canadian lives each year is a major oversight in your argument to abolish it. Another oversight is the fact that the $100 million annual cost of the registry is more than offset by public sector cost savings for health care, policing, court and prison costs. The registry was always intended to be revenue neutral. It was intended to provide
two important net social benefits to Canadians: Save lives and prevent tragic disruptions to families. If the current success rate is maintained over the next 10 years, the gun registry will ensure 6,000 people and 6,000 families have opportunities to live full and productive lives and to make Canada a better nation. Abolishing the registry will have significant negative impacts to all citizens, particularly taxpayers. Richard Drinnan, Kelowna
We paid a lot for microwave-equipped condos To the editor: I read with interest the recent articles in both the Daily Courier and the Capital News (New Facility a ‘Beautiful’ Place, Oct. 13) regarding Willowbridge, a transitional housing development in Kelowna, operated by the local branch of the Canadian Health Association.
One article put the cost of building this 40-unit facility at $8.3 million and another stated that it was $7.5 million plus the cost of the donated land from the city. Each 300 sq. foot self-contained unit has a microwave oven and there is a communal kitchen and social area. The cost of each unit at Willow-
bridge works out to approximately $200,000. Comparing this to the other properties in the $200,000 range around Kelowna, there are many two-bedroom, two-bathroom units, with three appliance kitchens around 1,000 square feet available. Some of these also have communal dining
rooms (Wedgewood) and some even have a pool (Hawthorn). There is new development being offered on St. Paul Street for affordable low cost housing. These units are 700 to 800 square feet with full kitchens at the cost of $149,000. Using these statistics we should have been able to
build not 40, but at least 140 units, for the amount spent on Willowbridge. Who would buy a 300 sq. ft. condo with only a microwave for a kitchen for $200,000? Oh—we did, Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer. Someone made a lot of money. Elizabeth Mitchell, Kelowna
Sun gave us a great season of football to watch To the editor: Thank you Okanagan Sun (and son) for a great season of football. I heard several players blaming one person for the loss, themselves! When the Sun won games they give credit to the team game but losses they take personally. Guys, you gave us one heck of a year, with numerous records being broken. Sun fans appreciated every second played this season, you were the better team in your final game and anyone of a dozen different play outcomes could have made the difference in the outcome. This year we saw all kinds of records being broken. It is unfair to hang
this game on any one person. Remember—it is a team sport. The game was not lost on one play but a dozen different plays that could have turned it in our favour. I heard players blame themselves for missed tackles, dropped passes, missed blocks, overthrown passes, missed field goals and an interception, but that happens when you give it your all and it is what makes football so great. On any given day any team can beat another team in the league. It is difficult to put together a season like the Sun and Raiders did, a season that was almost perfect except for each other. Football is a battle
of the unexpected—it is like life itself. Sometimes things happen while you are busy making other plans, sometimes that funny shaped ball bounces in an unexpected direction. This was an outstanding game and season to watch right to the last second. The Raiders were lucky and managed to capitalize on one more opportunity than the Sun did. The Sun did not set but will rise again and in the mean time remember you played on a championship team with champions and that will always remain and serve you in your future adventures. You will remember your time “in the Sun” with fondness. Those who are leaving—we will miss you.

lthough B.C.’s wildfire season has come to a close, there is still prevention work that needs to be done. Through the Strategic Wildfire Prevention Program, District of West Kelowna recently received $209,000 for operational fuel management treatments, on top of $71,000 for fire mitigation planning and $15,000 for their community wildfire protection plan. That’s in addition to the $275,000 the province provided for wildfire mitigation to the Powers Creek regional park through the Job Opportunities Program. In B.C. there are more than 1,100 highly trained firefighters and specialized personnel available to fight wildfires in the province. After visiting the Fire Ben Stewart Control Centre at Williams Lake during the height of the fire season in the Cariboo last August, I can attest to their dedicated professionalism and technological sophistication. But even though we have excellent resources to deal with fires once they have started, we need to focus on prevention. We engage local governments and develop plans to improve fire prevention and encourage the cleanup of natural fire fuel. The $209,000 provided to the District of West Kelowna will cover up to 75 per cent of fuel management costs on Crown land. West Kelowna is of particular interest for fire mitigation after the devastation of lost private property this past summer in Seclusion Bay. Fuel will be removed on Crown land between residential properties, but private land is the responsibility of the owners. It is crucial that we all take on the responsibility of fire prevention. There are many things we can do on our own properties to reduce the risk of forest fires and keep our homes and families safe. Cleaning out gutters, removing shrubs, trees, deadfall or woodpiles from around your home, as well as keeping your grass mowed and watered will help protect your home from wildfire. The province continues to educate people about the risks involved with human-caused fires by developing the Home Owners FireSmart manual to further educate people on risks and prevention. For more information and a copy of the FireSmart guide, visit http://www.pep.bc.ca/hazard_preparedness/ FireSmart-BC4.pdf. It’s individual citizens who make the difference by ensuring their properties are safe from forest fires in coming seasons. Ben Stewart is the Liberal MLA for Westside-Kelowna.

Pancreatitis is one gift your dog won’t want at Christmas T Celebrating the holidays W I N means family, sharing a $25 and of course… 0 he Christmas holiday season is fast approaching, and we all like to indulge with great food during that time of the year. And come on, who can resist those big begging eyes of your beloved pet who wants a taste of what you’re feasting on? So you share your food with your dog, but you do want to make a smart decision on which food is safe and which isn’t. Turkey with gravy, for instance, is not recommended. Basically any food high in fat is not good because it might lead to a condition called pancreatitis. The pancreas is an organ situated between the stomach and the intestine. The pancreas function is to secrete digestive enzymes into the first part of the intestine to allow digestion of food. The second function of the pancreas is to secrete hormones that are regulating the sugar in the blood, including insulin. Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas. The enzymes that are secreted from the pancreas are in inactive form. When the enzymes reach the intestine they become active. The active enzymes are breaking down the food and allow digestion and absorption of the nutrients. Pancreatitis occurs when the enzymes are becoming active while still in the pancreas, which leads to “self digestion”
FURRY pet’s history, such as what FRIENDS is the pet’s normal diet,
Dr. Moshe Oz
of the pancreas. The exact cause of pancreatitis is unknown, but there are few risk factors that might promote the condition. The most common causes are feeding a high fat diet, obesity, certain drugs, secondary to viral/ bacterial infections or secondary to trauma such as being hit by car. Pancreatitis can be either acute (sudden) or chronic (happens over a course of time). The acute form tends to be more severe, however both forms are dangerous, can be life threatening or lead to long-term damages. Pancreatitis can occur in both dogs and cats but its more common in dogs. Cats, if affected, tend to have the chronic form of the disease. The symptoms of acute pancreatitis are vomiting, painful abdomen, decreased or absent appetite, diarrhea, depression, abnormal body temperature (too high or too low) and dehydration. The symptoms of chronic pancreatitis are generally similar but are usually less severe and intermittent. If you suspect pancreatitis in your pet you should take him to your veterinarian. The vet will ask you some questions about the
did it get into garbage? And so on. The vet will also perform a physical exam on your pet. Pancreatitis is diagnosed by a few types of blood tests measuring the relevant enzymes. Your vet might also suggest performing abdominal x-rays/ultrasound to rule out other causes of similar symptoms. Pancreatitis is treated with supportive treatment. The key of the treatment is allowing the gastro-intestinal system and pancreas to rest as much as possible. Hence, the pet will probably stay hospitalized with intravenous fluids supplementation, and no food or water by mouth. When the pet will not vomit any more a special diet—low in fat and high in fiber—will be offered. Pancreatitis is a severe and life threatening condition. Chronic pancreatitis can lead to long-term damages such as diabetes (impairment of insulin secretion). Because the cause of pancreatitis is unknown it is hard to prevent it. Keeping your pet at a good body weight and avoiding a high fat diet will decrease your pet’s chances of having pancreatitis. You can also feed your pet a special diet which is low in fat and high in fibre, in order to reduce your pet’s chances of developing the condition. Please contact your veterinarian for more in-
formation on pancreatitis and how to try to avoid it.

MOTORING ▼ FORD F-150 LINEUP
All-new powertrain lineup delivers best-in-class Ford F-Series, North Americaπs best-selling truck for more than three decades, now comes equipped with an all-new powertrain lineup that will deliver best-in-class horsepower, torque and projected fuel economy. Including the 3.5-litre EcoBoost, which will be available in early 2011, a total of four new powertrains are available in the 2011 F-150. Each new engine is mated to a sixspeed automatic transmission. Ford is the first and only automaker to equip its entire full-size pickup truck lineup with fuel-saving six-speed automatic transmissions as standard. Another fuel saver is the addition of class-exclusive electric power-as-
sisted steering (EPAS) with the 3.7-litre V6, 5.0-litre and 6.2-litre V8 and 3.5-litre EcoBoost powertrains. The EPAS system replaces a conventional hydraulic system, which runs continuously off the engine, with a system that draws power only when needed. Additionally, EPAS enables several other driver convenience technologies and provides better steering feel. Ford is the first manufacturer to widely offer EPAS on full-size pick-up trucks. The three new engines available at launch are the 3.7-litre V6 302 hp, 278 lb/ft) and 5.0-litre V8 360 hp, 380 lb/ft), each with fuel-saving and performSee F-150 Lineup B4

Toyota charged with Prius Plug-In Hybrid METROLAND MEDIA
VANCOUVER, B.C. - So, what are we averaging, now? I asked my co-driver for the umpteenth time. About a half a litre per hundred kilometres,he said, tapping the gauge, as if to point it out. Or perhaps in disbelief. We were driving a 2010 Toyota Prius PHV (Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle), a hybrid that has, to put it simply, added a bigger battery that can be recharged through a household electric outlet in order to drive farther without using fuel. This summer Toyota celebrated 10 years of the Prius hybrid in Canada. Naysayers might grump that Prius sales have been paltry compared to overall automotive market numbers, but the Prius has found a surprisingly large niche with ≥early intenders≤, techno fans and ecoconscious drivers willing to take a personal stance on sustainability. Now, adding a plug-in version of the Prius might create a little initial confusion for those still unfamiliar with the hybrid concept. For the past decade, weπve been explaining hybrids to consumers, assuring them that åno, you donπt have to plug them inπ,≤ said Sandy Di Felice, Director, External Affairs at TCI. ≥Now,≤ she added with a grin, ≥we have to tell them that, åyes, you do have to plug this one inπ.≤ But this next step in hybrid evolution has always seemed inevitable. From the start, Prius owners began clamoring for bigger plug-in batteries to extend the electriconly range. Some owners even sought out solutions in after-market conversion shops. Toyotaπs initial response was a Plug-in Prius Pilot, based on the secondgeneration Prius with added NiMH batteries and a potential 13km EV range. It was tested in Europe, Japan and the U.S. but it was just the first rung up the plug-in engineering ladder. Last yearπs unveil-
ing of the third generation Prius provided a more sophisticated platform for a further evolution of plugin testing, resulting in this 2010 Prius PHV. It features larger, lighter, and more powerful lithium-ion battery packs, controlled through a new power management system that enables an electric-only range of more than 20 kilometres and a top speed of almost 100 km/h without using a drop of gasoline. How does it work? The lithium-ion battery mass is substantially larger than that of a regular Prius hybrid. Even though the batteries are lighter, their mass weighs in at 300 lbs instead of 100 lbs. And they make about four times the electric power of a regular Prius. Actually, itπs best to think of the layout as a three-battery-pack system. The first two packs are responsible for the initial 20 kilometres of electric-only driving. When we start our little trip, the EV distance is best stretched out under mild urban driving as opposed to harsh highway acceleration. Those first two battery packs get some recharging from regenerative braking but you will be able to watch the kilometer countdown on one of the many interactive dash display modes. When the 20 kilometres is up, or the two battery packs deplete, they are simply done until the next time the driver plugs in for a recharge. A solenoid seamlessly clicks over to the third battery pack and for the duration of the trip, the Prius PHV operates like any other regular Prius hybrid, harnessing the Atkinson Cycle 1.8-litre, 16-valve four-cylinder engine for a combination of motive power and recharging of only the third battery pack. When the trip is over, the Prius PHV can be recharged in three hours from a standard 110-volt outlet or in about half that time from a 220-volt source. So, for urban erSee Prius Plug-In B4
in Prius PHV to Canada. One of five test plug-in hybrids currently being tested under Canadian conditions, the 2010 Prius PHV was recently driven by Canadian automotive journalist in Vancouver. The Prius PHV harnesses lightweight lithium-ion batteries and offers up to 20 kilometres of initial fuel-free EV electric driving at speeds up to 100 km/h before switching to hybrid mode. CONTRIBUTED

MOTORING
Finding solutions before Prius Hybrid rolled out in Canada Prius Plug-In B3 rands itπs easy to imagine knocking at least 20 kilometres off your gas bill, or maybe 40 kilometres for the daily commute if you have a place to plug in for the return trip while youπre at work. Based on Toyotaπs testing, the Prius Plug-In achieves a fuel consumption of just 1.75L/100km and CO2 emissions of 41 g/km under specified driving conditions (combined
electric vehicle and hybrid vehicle modes). Under moderate commuting conditions, compared to the typical conventional midsize automobile, driving a Prius PHV for one year is expected to reduce fuel consumption by 1,650 litres (83 per cent) and cut CO2 emissions by almost 4,000 kg. My fuel efficiency averages were close to that 1.75L/100km mark after an hour-long intro-
ductory drive but, of course, the longer your trip is, the more the hybrid mode average will eat into that initial fuelfree 20 kilometres. Other test results that I have seen have varied, ranging from 2L/100km to 3.5L/100km. I certainly look forward to personally testing the Prius PHV in more rigorous real-world driving conditions, especially though a Canadian winter. But Iπm not the only one.

That is why the 2010 Prius PHV I was driving is one of five Prius PHVs now being studied by university, utility and government partners in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and B.C. Sometimes, solutions seem to raise more questions than answers in the early stages. But those tests, along with results from other worldwide fleets, will be combined with Toyota research to decide the price, the con-
sumer demands and specifications of the production version Prius PHV destined to debut in 2012. And then, the drivers will decide. Anyone interested can find more info at www. toyota.ca. Thereπs also a good U.S. site at www. toyota.com/esq. And Canadian Prius enthusiasts are encouraged to join Toyota Canadaπs Prius PHV Facebook page for information on consumer test-
drive event opportunities, telematics feedback updates from the test trials, and details on Toyotaπs sustainable mobility efforts at www.facebook. com/ToyotaCanadaPriusPlugIn.

If youπve just moved into a posh new neighborhood and want a quick way to get to know your neighbours, bring a 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG home on a test drive. Open up the gull-wing doors in your driveway and I guarantee all the guys from the surrounding area will be over in no time flat. Few cars can attract the attention of the new Mercedes-Benz flagship as I found out during an all-too-brief, three-day test of the new SLS AMG. Wherever I went the car drew a crowd, from my driveway, to a shopping mall parking lot and even on the highway where people craned their necks to get a closer look and then brought out their camera phones for a quick photo op. With the SLR McLaren no longer offered, the SLS has become the halo car for the Mercedes-Benz brand, carrying on a tradition started by the iconic 300 SLs of the 1950s.
Stk#B0-004A
In fact, the 1952 300 SL gull-wing model became an almost instant legend by winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Bern Grand Prix and the Carrera Panamericana. Production versions of the 300 SL soon followed. Now, a new legend is emerging as the SLS AMG is taking flight and turning heads. Itπs much more than just a car with gimmicky swing-up doorsã it also has power, performance and beauty on its side. Pity I didnπt get to throw it around on the race track, but even on public roads and city streets, itπs every bit as ≥exhilarating, powerful and breathtaking≤ as Mercedes press literature describes it. Itπs certainly not for the faint of heart in any sense of the word with its super-powerful 563 hp 6.3-litre V8 engine and a price tag starting at $198,000. Getting in and out takes some practice; if you have back problems good luck. Even though the door-opening angle is a generous 70 degrees, you have to lift your legs

Once in a lifetime M-B from B6
has grown to nearly 1,000 people. t The SLS is the first car designed completely inhouse by AMG and engineers were given a oncein-a-lifetime opportunityã create a sports car with every detail designed with driving dynamics in mind. To get to that point, you start with a superb power plant. The handbuilt 6.2-litre DOHC 32-valve V8 engine weighs just 205 kg (451 lb) when dry and is said to be the most powerful, naturally aspirated V8 engine in the world. It sits in a mid-engine layout, behind the front axle as low as is possible. It is mated with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that shifts in less than 100 milliseconds so there is no interruption in the power delivery. And believe me there is power to spare with Mercedes reporting a 0-100 km/h time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 317 km/h that is electronically limited. Steering is remarkably light and precise and the brakes perform as ex-
pected on a super car. One of the key design points for the SLS AMG engineers was creating a low centre of gravity by placing the engine lower on the chassis. To do this, they did away with the oil pan, which usually sits at the bottom of the engine and went to a dry sump lubrication system. Similar to the engine, the transmission is mounted on the rear axle in a trans-axle layout resulting in a low centre of gravity and producing near perfect weight distribution of 47/53 front-to-rear. You can choose from four transmission settingsã Controlled Efficiency (C), Sport (S), Sport plus (S+) and Manual (M) where you can use the steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Weight is also an important factor in super car design and here AMG engineers have done wonders. The designers have used aluminum throughout the SLS to keep weight down, although steel is still used where occupant safety is most important but it makes up
only four per cent of the overall body shell. The suspension is also largely aluminum, with a double wishbone setup with independent wheels and spring locations. A rear-wheel drive coupe, the SLS has a long wheelbase of 2,680 mm (105.5 in) and an overall length of 4,638 mm (182.6 in). The long wheelbase helps the straight-line get up and go while a widetrack keeps the car firmly planted on those tight corners. Further, a rear spoiler automatically pops up at speeds above 120 km/h to improve downforce even more. The SLS appears bigger than it is, particularly inside the cockpit as you sit low in the saddle, looking out over the hood that extends out a good two metres. Yet, the car is light, at 1,620 kg (3,573 lb) and nimble on its feet. Unlike say, the Dodge Viper, which can be a handful anywhere, the SLS is as easy a car to drive in the city as it is on the open roads. My tester, painted in Iridium metallic silver,

had grippy 265/35/19 performance tires up front and 295/30/20 tires on the rear, mounted on sevenspoke AMG light-alloy wheels. Inside, the cabin had a distinct aviation theme to it with luxurious-looking Classic Red nappa leather upholstery and an aircraft wing-shaped dashboard with four air vents, which resemble aircraft engines. Everything is soft to the touch and ergonomically correct with a series of buttons, including the start/stop button, on the centre console. The shift lever, similar to the thrust control of a jet aircraft, carries on the avi-
ation theme. The instrument cluster, finished in galvanized Silver Shadow, features two round dials with white backlighting, red needles and a 360 km/h speedometer. When you punch the go button the engine roars to life, but if you donπt want to hear that concerto, turn up the spectacular optional Bang & Olufsen sound system (a $7,000 add-on), and the 1,000 watts and 11 speakers turn the cabin into a concert hall. This surround-sound system was developed especially for the SLS and produces truly amazing sound. The multi-media
system, situated between the two centre air vents, has a seven-inch screen. Of course, a super car like this has all the safety features one would expect including eight airbags, three-point seat belts, belt tensioners and belt force limiters. Acceleration skid control, electronic stability program and anti-lock braking with brake assist are also standard. With a starting price four times the cost of our first home, the 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is out of the range of most mortals. But for those who can afford such luxuries, itπs a car to covet and most like-
ly the start of a new legend that is just beginning to take flight.

Kia Soul proves cube vehicles to be anything but square Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR
Love them or hate them, cube vehicles are still selling, and with the recently launched Scion xB now hitting Canadian showrooms, there’s no indication yet that square styling is becoming square. This youthful trend began with the 2003 Honda Element, a boxy, slabsided SUV marketed as a “dorm room on wheels.”
It was a bit of an ugly duckling with too much black cladding, but after a couple of refreshes in 2005 and 2009, it became more fashionable. Others joined its rectangular ranks like the diminutive Nissan Cube and hefty Ford Flex. The cube is an efficient shape. Which is why we have cube vans and the boxes they haul. The more common trend towards swoopier, more steeply raked
SUVs and crossovers may bode well for styling, but it has taken a bite out of cargo space. Still, cube vehicles are controversial, even among the hip, young demographic they’re targeting. My wife isn’t a fan, but the 2010 Kia Soul caught her eye, despite the creepy “peer into a Soul” teaser ads that preceded its launch. The Soul debuted at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show, and when it

IT MAY BE SQUARE, but the 2010 Kia Soul is one of the hippest, freshest designs in its segment. Starting at $15,795, the base vehicle includes a surprising list of standard content such as Bluetooth and heated seats. arrived at dealerships, it was not only the hippest vehicle in the Kia lineup, but one of the freshest designs in its segment. The Soul may be a tall box, yet at the same time has a low, wide stance. This is complemented by protruding wheel arch-
es over large alloys along with short front and rear overhangs, giving it a firmly planted look. The roofline angles rearward as the beltline rises from the front wheel arch to create a gentle wedge shape that ends at the large D-pillar. Tall ver-
tical combination lamps set into the body panels make a bold statement at the rear. And depending on trim level, and a large assortment of dealer-installed add ons that include skirts, spoilers, decals, door sills and roof banners, you can
build a Soul that is entirely your own. The base model starts at $15,795 and comes with a long list of standard equipment that includes power locks, windows and heated mirrors; See Kia Soul B9

It’s no powerhouse, but is more than adequate to propel this subcompact with reasonable pep, allowing you to merge on to busy highways without too much trepidation. Starting price for this
model is $18,295 and if you want an automatic, tack on another $1,200. There are four higher trim levels, each adding more content along with interior and exterior eye candy. My tester was the full-blown 2.0L 4u SX, which prices out at $21,895 with manual and $23,095 with the fourspeed automatic. This funky little car lent itself well to a bit of bling, and its chrome ac-

surprising amount of legroom when you consider the Soul’s small footprint and 100-inch wheelbase. Passenger room rivals many mid-size sedans. Cargo room is tight with 546 litres behind the standard 60/40 split folding rear seats. But drop both and you get a spacious 1,511 litres. There’s a divided storage tray under the cargo floor, which is handy for hiding valuables and great for keeping small objects from rolling around. Ride, with the optional sport tuned suspension, is stable in the corners, yet forgiving on bumpy roads. Steering is light and with its tight turning circle, the Soul feels nimble on urban roads and in parking lots. At one time, if you were shopping the entry level, choices were more about practicality and economy than about fashion and individuality. Today that’s changed. Cars in this price range still tend to be sensible, but there’s also a fun factor, along with the kind of style, comforts and conveniences that not long ago were limited to the premium segment. And in the Soul, you get something more—and that’s attitude. A kind of in-your-face character that is as easy on the eyes as it is on the pocketbook. p.s.

Known for value and service Old-fashioned service at a family run business are just two of the reasons Valley Mitsubishi is celebrating its eighth anniversary. “One of the reasons I think so many of our customers are comfortable here is the fact that I am
here all the time and my door is always open,� says Rick Wright, Valley Mitsubishi owner and general manager. Wright and his sales team deliver the best backed cars in the world to their customers. Mitsubishi offers its now
famous 10-year, 160,000 km warranty. That warranty is a key part of the value that customers are looking for, says Wright. “It is the best warranty in the business, and that makes a difference.� Mitsubishi is constantly offering new products
to their customers. On the lot now is the 2011 Mitsubishi RVR. Released two weeks ago, this small SUV delivers an amazing 43 mpg with a $21,998 price tag. With regenerating brakes, electronic power steering and other engineering features boosting the fuel efficiency, the RVR is attracting lots of attention. Next year, Mitsubishi will be delivering a full electric car. The MiEV will have a range of up to 120 km and will be able to travel up to speeds of 130 km/h. By this time next year, buyers will be able to take the four-door, four-seater car for a test drive, and then home to be plugged in. The wide selection of used vehicles at Valley Mitsubishi is due in part to Wright’s 20 plus years in the car industry.

RICK WRIGHT, owner and general manager of Valley Mitsubishi on Enterprise Way, with his wife Kim, daughter Hailey, 9, and son Austin, 6, outside and in the showroom. Valley Mitsubishi always has vehicles for sale under $10,000 for the budgetconscious customer. Other top-line used vehicles are also on the lot, including SUVs, high performance cars, trucks and minivans. Wright is
confident the selection of used vehicles is one of the best in the valley. “We have a great selection of import and domestic vehicles, and our customers know us for that.� Valley Mitsubishi is
conveniently located at the corner of Enterprise and Leckie at one end of the Kelowna auto mall. There is a full service and parts department and service appointments can be booked online at www. valleymitsubishi.com.

Toyota is making a number of changes to its Highlander and Highlander SUVs, the most significant of which is a standard third row seat for up to seven passengers for 2011. The Highlander is classified as a mid-size SUV but it is anything but, being as big or bigger than the full-size SUVs like the Explorer and Envoy a decade ago. This translates into generous utility values such as 10.3 litres of cargo behind the third row seat, 42 litres behind the second row seat and a full 94.1 litres with the second and

The 3.5-litre replaces the 3.3-litre engine used in the 2010 model. The 2011 Highlander Hybrid uses the latest version of Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive which, arguably, is the best on the market.

capital news B15
Toyota SUV increases its power, decreases its fuel consumption Hylander from B14 hp (up 10 hp) and gets a claimed 10 per cent fuel economy boost over the 2010 model. Fuel rating is 6.6/7.3/6.9L/100 km (43/39/41 mpg) city/highway/combined with an electronic constantly variable transmission (CVT). Towing is rated at 1,587 kg (3,500 lb) and ra transmission cooler is standard. r As noted the hybrid drive system has been updated and now includes an exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR) that cuts smog and improves fuel rusage. The Cooled Exhaust Heat Recovery system aids engine response in our colder Canadian climate. On the transmission tunnel is a button marked “EV” for electric vehicle mode. It combines three electric motor/generators. MG1 is the generator driven by the engine that charges the battery pack and other motors as required. MG2 is the motor for front drive and MGR is a motor at the rear that drives the rear wheels. The best way to “see” it work is by toggling through the driver information screen until you come to a depiction of the system. As you accelerate, brake, coast, arrows show where the power is going. It’s a lot like a video game in that your start using braking power regeneration and feathering the gas pedal on launch to keep gasoline use to a min-
imum. But be warned, you can find yourself looking at this thing too much and distracting yourself from the main task of watching the road ahead. In a brief drive from the Big City to cottage country, I got held up by a very long, stop and go traffic, stretch of road reconstruction. For about 10 miles I was able to move along at battery alone while hitting the breaks hard for as much re-gen power as possible. Not once did the engine come on which meant I was also not contribution to greenhouse gases by constant idling. You can see where it is a boon in downtown or commuter traffic. When I picked up the Highlander Hybrid, the average fuel consumption readout said 8.5L/100 km. Just over 120 km later I had it down to 7.9L/100 km. Given a full week and some judicious driving, I probably could have come close the official EnerGuide ratings. All Highlanders are now equipped as standard with Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) which combines all current driver aids such as stability control, traction control, antilock brakes, electronic brake force distribution into one system. Also standard is the on-demand all-wheeldrive system that integrates hill-start assist. The Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Toyota
Highlander Hybrid Limited now feature upgraded audio systems with USB audio input and XM Satellite Radio capability. Chief among these is the Bongiovi Acoustics Digital Power Station that is the latest example of how Toyota continues to deliver superior driving experiences with the very latest in in-vehicle entertainment. As the world’s first 100 per cent digital audio processing system certified for automotive use, and offered as a genuine Toyota accessory, the Bongiovi Acoustics DPS produces premium sound quality at an unbeatable price of $280. There are two versions of the Highlander Hybrid based on trim with the Limited getting just about every option in the Toyota parts bin. Pricing was yet to be announced at this writing but should be similar to that of the 2010 version.
THE 2011 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID now offers standard seven-passenger seating with an increase in power while using 10 per cent less fuel than the 2010 model. CONTRIBUTED
